Question

complete the table to compare the structure of dna and rna. contains the 5-carbon sugar deoxyribose dna rna is typically a single-stranded molecule is typically a double-stranded molecule contains the 5-carbon sugar ribose submit

Explanation:

Step 1: Analyze DNA's sugar

DNA has deoxyribose as its 5 - carbon sugar, so mark DNA column for this row.

Step 2: Analyze RNA's strand type

RNA is usually single - stranded, so mark RNA column for this row.

Step 3: Analyze DNA's strand type

DNA is usually double - stranded (double helix), so mark DNA column for this row.

Step 4: Analyze RNA's sugar

RNA has ribose as its 5 - carbon sugar, so mark RNA column for this row.

Answer:

	DNA	RNA
is typically a single - stranded molecule		$\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$
is typically a double - stranded molecule	$\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$
contains the 5 - carbon sugar ribose		$\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$
